Ep. 46 Naomi Taylor - His Love Covers All

The Full Life Podcast with Melanie Lynam

A party girl in her 20s falls head over heels in love with a charming man. A scary accident, a miracle healing, a broken marriage; Meet my dear friend, Naomi - a single Mum of 3, a godly woman, a parent helper in her children’s school, a student mentor, a volunteer at Church. This woman is beautiful on the inside and the outside. But life has not been a walk in the park for her. Naomi’s story is one of a prodigal daughter, returning to her Heavenly Father and being received with loving arms again and again. Sin is sin. Sometimes it’s done in the secret and sometimes our shame is out there for all to see. Naomi and I talk about how we are so so thankful that nothing can seperate us from the love of Christ, and that every time we mess up, He is waiting for us, ready to forgive and restore us.

“If I wasn’t forgiving myself I was blocking Jesus’ forgiveness. I was disregarding what He had done for me on the cross. So that was the start of my wake up call.”

Found out she was pregnant. Shame. Not knowing how to face it.

Praying to God “I can’t do this.”

“Knowing that God’s grace was with me and that I have a beautiful little blessing which was Judah”

Did you ever feel judged by people in the church - so much so.

Sin is sin. Sexual sin is seen as so terrible but all sin is terrible.

Romans 8:28 “And just trusting in that - knowing that He works all things to good. Whether it’s a mess that I created or a mess that was out of my control, when you love Him and you submit to Him…He will cause things to work to good.”

Romans 8:1

“At the end of the day serving your kids is serving God.”

God’s grace for us as parents.
